Family property facing the Pyrenees In the heart of a picturesque village in Barn full of charm and poetry, stands this pleasant villa perfectly integrated into the landscape that surrounds it. Well seated on its land of approximately 18, 500 m2, it embraces the green countryside and offers views of the nearby Pyrenees mountain range. It is a happy compromise between contemporary architecture and traditional regional architecture. Highlighted by a large cobble roof which highlights its harmonious volumes, the house enlivens its facades with large openings and a long covered terrace, for permanent contact closer to nature. The rectangular plan is wide and well distributed over a total surface area of 260 m2. The ground floor offers an entrance hall, a large living room, a fire area with fireplace, a dining kitchen, a large fitted office, a bedroom with bathroom on one level as well as technical rooms with boiler room, pantry , laundry room and double garage. Upstairs, there are 5 bedrooms, bathrooms and Wc. The spaces are generously open to the outside through large windows, which let in light. Originally, it was the decorator Pierre Montpezat who was responsible for the interior design, choosing materials such as stone, wood, terracotta flooring set in an oak checkerboard, earthenware, etc. .All with great elegance. Outside, the hilly shape of the land was judiciously exploited by the architect B. Dublanc to allow the construction to maintain pleasant proportions. On all 4 sides, the house reveals a plural atmosphere. To the south, the suspended terrace overflows onto the flower garden. To the north, the more radical facade has clear geometric lines highlighted in Basque red. To the west, an intimate and protective path leads to the large entrance door. To the east, the large 15m x 5m swimming pool offers an almost infinite panorama and perspective towards nature. This elegant contemporary Barnaise is a rare good.
